Maria Hatzistefanis started with £20,000 in savings, no investors, and a home office. Today she runs two global beauty brands and has written the manual on building your first million.

The question isn't whether you can do it. It's whether you know the rules.

In this episode of Hot Girl Finance, Maria Hatzistefanis, founder of Rodial and Nip+Fab and author of How To Make Your First Million, breaks down exactly how she built wealth from scratch — and what most founders get dangerously wrong.

In this episode:

◼️ Why getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to her and what it taught her about knowing when to walk away

◼️ The shock marketing strategy that made Rodial go viral with zero budget (and the one time it massively backfired)

◼️ The cold email to Kris Jenner — and the 48-hour wait for Kylie Jenner's signature that nearly cost Maria the entire investment

◼️ Why networking upwards is a waste of time — and the sideways move that will actually change your career

◼️ How she bought property at the top of the market every single time — and still came out on top

◼️ The £10,000 stock investment that became £90,000 in months — and the greed that cost her £80,000 of it

If you want to build real wealth, this is your blueprint.
